    I've worked with a guy who used to do this. He said it's often VERY restricted, according to the device. The device manufacturer usually has a dev kit with very specific things you can do, so he suggested looking at all the existing applications on that device/platform and get a feeling for what can be done with the device.

    He said that the way they did things was to wireframe, develop, then design the "skin" of buttons and such, he said the worst way to do this is to make a bunch of photoshop comps and then develop based on those, as you can easily do things in photoshop that you can't do in the device.

    I know designers like to be original, but devices can be more limited than you think....
